5.10% 12-Month / 4.80% 6-Month CD at Park Avenue Bank in New York City
Oct 2, 2008 - 9:00 AM by Ken Tumin
Park Avenue Bank is again offering some very nice CD specials. These include a 4.80% APY 6-month CD and a 5.10% APY 12-month CD. The minimum deposit is $25,000, and there is no maximum deposit. No checking account is necessary. This special doesn't seem to be listed at the bank's website. A reader mentioned this in the comments, and I just called for additional details. According to the CSR, this just started this week, so they expected it to last for a while. I was happy to hear that it only required a $25K deposit. Their past specials had required $100K.
According to the CSR, a branch visit is required to open an account. Branches are located in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Park Avenue Bank has a 2 star rating (problematic) at BauerFinancial based on 6/30/08 data. As I recommend with any bank, it's best to keep below the FDIC limits. The bank has been FDIC insured since 1987 (FDIC Certificate # 27096).

My family member opened up one of these today. He was about to open the 5% WaMu CD, but then I told him about this deal.
He thanks you tremendously!

anonymous, until 12/31/09 individual accounts are FDIC insured up to $250k. If you add POD's to account title, it's an additional $250k for each beneficiary. If it's a joint account, its insured up to $500k.

After I heard about the rate cut, I stopped by this bank to see if this deal was still going on.
It was, and they've also added a 5.20% 18 month CD, which I was able to open today.
